Join the Internet Countdown

Last year, more than 40,000 websites participated in the Internet Slowdown to demand real net neutrality. It worked! But monopolistic Cable companies are pouring millions into a last ditch effort to derail the FCC's historic vote. Help us flood Washington, DC with calls and emails to show lawmakers that the whole Internet is watching, and we're literally counting down the seconds until we get real net neutrality.

Here's how to join.

Internet users: Spread the word.

Telling everyone about the vote is a key part of winning real net neutrality. We need your help to do just that. If you use twitter, click "Join with Twitter" below, and you can sign up to tweet once a day from now until the vote, or just once right before the vote. It's your choice. If you don't have twitter, then sign up with your email and we'll send you a list of different ways you can help.

There’s a bunch of different ways for sites to participate.
The best way?
Run this widget. You can place it on your site
using just one line of code (see above). Then, link to battleforthenet.com to drive emails and calls for net neutrality.
You can also change your site’s logo (or one of its letters) to a
spinning wheel of death or embed this action tool in a high traffic
page. NOTE: none of these tools will slow down your site; they just show a
symbolic loading symbol.

#InternetCountdown Leaderboards

These sites are driving the most emails and calls to lawmakers. Want to join
their ranks, as a hero? Get the code for your site.
Points are assigned from how much traffic you send back to
Battle for the Net, but you can get extra
credit for miscellaneous acts of heroism that you
tell us about.

Apps: do a push notification

If you have a mobile app, can you send just one push notification to
your users? Your users will love you for it and appreciate being able to easily take action for net neutrality. Tell them that ISPs are threatening to slow your app, and
link them to https://www.battleforthenet.com.

Change your profile photos everywhere.

Protest Internet slow lanes on Twitter, Facebook, any social network by changing your profile photo to the dreaded spinning wheel of death (in your favorite color). Then you can try out these tweets too.

Share these images!

We need as many people as possible to know that the vote for net neutrality is coming soon, write Congress and the FCC, and keep fighting until we win. Can you post these images everywhere? You can share these images too.

Say you're in.

Are you participating? Tell us so we can list you, announce it to the
world, and invite others to join. Starting on 1/26 we’ll be announcing
which sites are in. Help us spread the word about the campaign by
tweeting something like
this or this.
Want to show your support in real life?
Get the Team Internet shirt (then post a photo, obv.)

You're our only hope.

This is the time to go big, visible, and strong - that's the only way
we can actually win this fight. We all need to get as many people in
our respective audiences motivated to do something. We can make this
epic, but only if you help. We need companies to be frontrunners,
leaders, and heroes on this, that’s the key ingredient to raising the
bar and making sure everyone goes big.

We realize it's a big ask, but this is the kind of bad internet
legislation that comes along (or gets this close to passing) once a
decade or so. If it passes we'll be kicking ourselves for
decades—every time a favorite site gets relegated to the slow
lane, and every time we have to rework or abandon a project because of
the uncertain costs paid prioritization creates. Doing the most we can
right now seems like the only rational step.

The FCC votes on net neutrality Feb 26. Join the countdown!

Comcast wants to destroy net neutrality to slow & break the sites you love. We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stop them, in just days! Will you let us automatically post the countdown to the vote–and future urgent alerts–to your Twitter? (You can disable at any time, of course.)
